In March my airbag light stayed on and then the windshield wipers failed to work. I then a burning odor came out of the heating unit. I brought it into a Chrysler dealership to get fixed. This is the work needed to repair the car. Switch multifuntion, clockspring for airbag. Complete replacement of the BCM due to the airbag malfuntion and wiper malfunction., replaced the multifunction switch. BCM recontroller reprograming and replaced clock spring to repair air bag lamp coming on. The final cost with labor totaled $843.44 I called Chrysler to see if this malfunction would be covered and I was told no. The service department said it is rare that the system fails in a car with my milage. Chrysler was very nasty on the phone and said they would not consider any responsibility towards the payment of the defect. I asked to speak to a manager etc....and I was told that I could not be forwarded to anyone else. I was told by the rep on the phone that the final decision was made. Last week I heard on the radio about an investigation on the possible defects of the vehicles clockspring assembly which provides the electricity for the wipers etc....I did not check to see if it had affected the horn or cruise control because I had not used both during that time. It seems the faulty clockspring possible blew out the electrical system which resulted in the need for a replaced BCM component. I am hoping if this is found to be a defect Chrysler will reimburse the $843.44 to me.

When turning on left signal front windshield wipers will come on. Sometimes rear windshield wipers will also come on. Took vehicle to dealer about 5 times. Each time they said that they had fixed it, but problem reoccurred. This is unsafe because while driving on freeway and windshield wipers coming on, it will distract the driver.

Windshield wipers would go on/off by themselves. This caused a hazardous problem for driver. Vehicle been to dealership for windshield wiper repairs. Since repairs done on wipers, the signal switch failed to work properly.
